Three youth were arrested on Tuesday on charge of molesting a girl in Haryana's Hisar district hours after Headlines Today aired the act caught on CCTV camera.

The shocking video exposes the bitter reality about the safety of women in the country. It shows a girl walking out of a college when two men start tailing her. One of them walks up to her and grabs her hand. The other snatches her mobile phone.

The molestation took place on the bustling DN College road on Monday, but no one dared to intervene. Finally, a shopkeeper stopped the men and reprimanded them. He also gave refuge to the girl who was crying miserably.

However, the outrage did not end there. The goons returned with their friends and beat up the only good Samaritan who bothered to help the girl.

"The girl was crying. I told the boy that this is not the way to behave with a girl. He had taken the girlâ€™s mobile. I asked him to return the mobile... later a group of people attacked me," the shopkeeper said.

Shockingly, the police remained ignorant about the incident until Headlines Today started airing the footage. They finally swung into action on Tuesday morning and arrested three persons.

Police officer Arjun Singh said, "The girl has made a complaint. We have registered the FIR. The investigation is on."
